Abstract
Palladium catalysts for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol were studied. Properties of the catalytic systems prepared using different supports (alumina and hypercrosslinked polystyrene) and different precursors (palladium chloride and palladium chloride bisacetonitrile) were compared. The natures of the support and precursor were demonstrated to affect considerably the catalyst morphology and activity to the selective hydrogenation of furfural. The furfural conversion in the presence of the most effective catalyst 3% Pd/MN270 (PdCl 2 ) reached more than 95 % at the selectivity for furfuryl alcohol as high as 94 %.
